Post-fracture physiotherapy is a crucial aspect of the rehabilitation process to help individuals regain mobility, strength, and function after a bone fracture. The specific approach to physiotherapy will depend on the type and location of the fracture, the type of treatment received (e.g., casting, surgery), and individual factors such as age, overall health, and fitness level.
Customized Rehabilitation Plans:
- Tailored physiotherapy programs based on the type, location, and treatment of the fracture.
- Individualized approach considering factors like age, health, and fitness level.
Early Mobilization and Range of Motion Exercises:
- Implementation of exercises to encourage early mobilization without compromising healing.
- Range of motion exercises to prevent stiffness and improve joint flexibility.
Strengthening Exercises for Bone Healing:
- Gradual strength training to support bone healing and prevent muscle atrophy.
- Focus on rebuilding muscle strength around the fracture site.
Functional Rehabilitation for Daily Activities:
- Rehabilitation programs aimed at improving mobility in daily tasks.
- Emphasis on restoring functional independence for an improved quality of life.
Pain Management Strategies:
- Techniques to manage post-fracture pain, including modalities like ice or heat therapy.
- Introduction of weight-bearing activities carefully to effectively manage discomfort.
